Missouri continues trend of showing support for South Carolina flood victims

South Carolina has been rocked by flooding due to Hurricane Joaquin, forcing more than 100,000 residents of the state to go without clean drinking water. As efforts are organized to help South Carolina recover, Missouri is the latest SEC institution to offer support.

Rather than purchasing tickets to athletic events this week, Mizzou fans are encouraged to donate goods for free admission to Tigers’ sporting events. Acceptable donations include paper supplies, such as plates, bowls, cups, towels, toilet paper and tissue paper, as well as plastic flatware.

Mizzou’s gesture is part of a larger, conference-wide effort to help the people of South Carolina.

Last week, the Gamecocks received the red carpet treatment from LSU after the two universities agreed to move the game from Columbia, S.C. to Baton Rouge, La. due to the continued flooding.
